Norman Reedus Confirms Interest in Playing Himself in Death Stranding 2 Movie

Attention all Death Stranding enthusiasts! Get ready for the much-anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, set to hit the shelves in June. The iconic star of the franchise, Norman Reedus, recently dropped some intriguing hints about the game during an interview with IGN, and he didn't stop there—he also shared some exciting news about the upcoming film adaptation.

When asked if he'd be willing to portray himself in the film version, which is being developed by Michael Sarnoski and A24, Reedus enthusiastically responded, "If it was an option, yeah, for sure." However, he added a note of caution about the project's early stages, saying, "I don’t know what’s happening with it. It’s so pre pre pre right now. But yeah, of course."

During the same interview, Reedus addressed his initial confusion with the first game and his thoughts as they approach the sequel. He expressed unwavering trust in the game's creator, Hideo Kojima, stating, "As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at." He acknowledged Kojima's unique vision, saying, "He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas." Reedus also noted a shift in the sequel, mentioning, "But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to."

No matter the twists and turns in the Death Stranding universe, Reedus remains enthusiastic about his involvement. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."

Mark your calendars, as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is slated for release on June 26, 2025.
